About me
Marika’s passion for public libraries began in 2001 when she developed the first homework center at the Saint Paul Public Library. Since then, she has developed several impactful programs, including the Saint Paul Read Brave initiative, a citywide reading initiative that fosters community dialogue, and Library Go, which provides all Saint Paul Public School students with virtual public library cards at school registration. Marika also launched Createch spaces, empowering teens through creative and technology-focused environments. Currently, she oversees grants management and project management of the Transforming Libraries, working to reimagine library services for the community’s evolving needs.
